I will be adding to these comments as the days move on and I have time.
In public tweets I had stated that Trump had a strong chance to win,
astrologically speaking, due to
his strong and helpful Jupiter progressions while Clinton had much
less auspicious transits. Also I had stated my opinion that he was a
sincere
man and willing to make a great sacrifice for his country; that this
was the reason he was running. I will post some of those
tweets here later. But this is a study of Trump's natal and relocated
natal charts, and what they may tell us about him.

The thing of most interest to study, in looking at any famous person
with a big career, is the 10th
house or house of career. It's the 10th house
that the public actually sees
when they know of a famous person. It's that
mountain seen at a distance. My favorite interest, as an astrologer,
has been studying how the ruler of a house (realm of life),
and where it sits
(and what's affecting that ruler) -- shows up in that realm of life.
With the 10th house, we should see it in the visible work of that
person, but we also get information about his true outer ambitions, the
true aspirations, what they're really caring to do in the outer world.

Later I am going to write about another public figure who has the exact
same 10th House structure as Trump, and how he shows forth
the same aspirations and life's work as Donald Trump (though he may not like to hear it) -- James Kunstler of
www.Kunstler.com. (I'm a Kunstler fan.)

So again we look at the planetary ruler of the 10th, and where it sits
by house. It's my theory that this should always play out in noticeable
ways -- in the location where they develop. (Not necessarily in the natal chart, if they're not in the birth location any more.) So what we have with D. Trump is "Venus-Ruling-10th-from-12th."
Based on my experience, this produces aspirations, and a life's role,
that involves at least these six noticeable themes: Interest in beauty /
Interest in/involvement with rarefied environments / "I'm With Pretty People" / Great sacrifice / Confused relationships / Lost loves.

Desire to
create beauty, with interest in art/design
Trump has spent his life building unusual and impressive buildings and
using artistic architects. He is proud of the originality and beauty of
his buildings. Later I will post a graphic here that shows the many
amazing buildings Trump has built. It's quite clear from the photos
that they are intended to be both beautiful and rarefied, like the 12th
house which is the House of highest beauty and the House of
"retreats."

Interest or
involvement with rarefied, retreat-like places and environmentsHis places are otherworldly, taking you
out of the conventional, mean existence. I believe this has been his
conscious intent. He is also known for living in such places and he
likes to show them off. Someone with this structure may also spend time
in retreats, ashrams and hermitages, wild places like cabins in the
woods, and they would feel closest to loved ones in these places. We
have many photos of Trump in his unusual homes that seem to suggest
this. He basically builds -- and enjoys -- beautiful retreats. In the outer world, this is what he's striven the most to do up to now.

"I'm With Pretty People"
There is another way this is playing out and it is so obvious that one
might not think of it right away. Venus is most associated with the
human body, especially the face, with women, and with attractive,
winsome looks. Meanwhile it is most associated with "human relations."
Thus what we have with Trump is a man who's presented to the world a
lot of beauty in the form of his relations -- his children and wife --
who he keeps right there with him in the spotlight (in his 10th House)
very associated with his public work. Even his sons are highly Venusian
in aspect, and of course his young son Barron.
(All young children, including boys who are still
androgynous, are a manifestation of winsome Venus.) So it's not
insignificant that part of
Trump's life's role has been "I present not just beautiful buildings,
but my beautiful relatives to the world." Think: Ivanka,
Melania, Barron, his sons. All eye candy for the world. People take
this as an incidental, a background item, but it's not. His 10th House
shows us it's a basic part of his life's role.

With Venus ruling 10th (from any house), and
especially if one is a male, one's public standing gets wrapped up with
Venusian women. We can see this with Melania Trump. And "beautiful
people" in general. The celebrities that populated his popular show The
Apprentice were basically Venusian characters. "People" magazine is a
Venusian interest. While Venus is associated with "pretty people" it's
also associated with the glamorous, light entertainment, materialism
and vanity, and entertainment. Thus even somebody like Gene Simmons
was another Venusian player on his stage. Trump liked getting known
media characters onto his show, and the 12th house is very much
associated with mass media, in my observations.

If you ever wonder "What is the 12th House
like?" -- all you need do is watch Donald Trump's boardroom scenes
in The Apprentice, a show that up to recently represented the pinnacle
of his career and fame. The show covertly depicted a "king in his throne room" and I
think Trump,
with his Mars-in-Leo, intended that feeling. But you know, a throne
room can be a bright, heady, and joyous place. What we had in Trump's
"throne room" was a dark, mysterious, cloistered feeling like the
atmosphere of a monastery. Monasteries and cloisters
are fundamental
12th House things. In the mysterious 12th House, secrets come out, and
people are undone. Nobody's sure what's going on in there. It is the
house of humiliations and loss. The books say "endings." Can you think
of more dolorous "ending" scenes than at the close of "The Apprentice"
when various personalities were sent packing, having lost the game and
lost all? If you want to know what a "12th House atmosphere" is like,
the dark boardroom of "The Apprentice" -- which Trump is perhaps most
famous for -- will certainly show you. Though a small observation, I
think it shows one way that Trump's Venus-Ruled-10th-From-12th has
played out. Pretty people in a mysterious dark room losing all! That's what Trump gave us over-and-over in "The Apprentice."

Total sacrifice and
service to others
This person is capable of total sacrifice and is willing to give up a
lot in the context of his calling or his work. Also, he may simply
walk into a situation in which he suffers great sacrifice though he may
not expect it. With the 12th House, you can't really control what
happens. I have sensed, in photos and film I've seen, that the Secret
Service men around Trump are well keyed up at all times, taking their
jobs very seriously. It could be that they -- or some of the Trump
family -- have some sense of real danger already.

Confused,
mysterious relationships
This includes secrets and mistakes, confusions
and misunderstandings, but also lies and deceptions connected
to his female relationships. These can be, of course, lies and
deceptions told by others. There is a lot of confusion there. But
things gradually come out. I will write about this one later
because there is perhaps a lot to
discuss. With his Moon-in-5th-Ruling-12th,
never mind his Leo nature (a man's Mars is usually strong in him), Trump would have encountered
flirtatious women lifelong, with plenty of temptation.
And that's the best way to set the stage for that discussion.

"Lost
loves"
The individual will have some kind of deep sorrow about one or more
persons close to him who he has lost, or loses, or that
person has lost something or been harmed. This can include
a person made dysfunctional or incapable, as this is
very much associated with the 12th house. He will become
publicly known for these sorrows or lost loves. I have a grave fear that this has yet to fully play out. By
living elsewhere, Trump could probably ward off any ripened
fruit from this structure. But that's just it: The presidency will be a
sacrifice for him, and though I've predicted he'll travel a lot and be
really big when it comes to interacting with other nations and leaders,
he'll
end up feeling tethered to Washington. He will likely feel cramped in
the White House compared to his many lavish residences. He will likely
feel, at times, like a prisoner of the White House for the sake of his
country, rather than one who's received an upgrade of quarters. This
would further match this 10th House formula of sacrifice. Having to
stay with that locational chart though it exposes him to this "total
sacrifice" theme -- is all part of what the chart will "try" to do.All the above six themes (and there are
others I'll add here later) revolve or manifest over
time, as with all astrological aspects. It takes transits/progressions
(Time) to bring them all out. They don't come all at once. It
should be noted that he keeps this structure in Queens, Manhattan, and
also Washington DC.

These six are the best worth starting
with, in pondering Donald Trump, and they are the obvious ones I think
of based on my 30 years of
watching charts. In later updates here I will be going over in more
depth how many of
these show in his life, along with other "Venus-In-12th-Ruling-10th" themes.

We can take this same 10th House structure and draw out other typical
scenarios I would expect to encounter among diverse humans with their
diverse charts:

-- A person who spends a lot of time in meditation retreats and
ashrams. Perhaps they end up having some administrative authority in
such places. Likely also they have mysterious or shrouded love affairs
there.

-- A person who spends a lot of time camping and in the wilds. Likely
also they have wonderful times there with their mate or loved one, and
perhaps come to times where, in the same places, they pine away for
that person.

-- A person who spends a lot of time in a great institution, whether a
library or a hospital or campus facility that has majestic aspects.
They live a near-hidden existence there, may work on artistic or
aesthetic interests there, and have a hidden or confused love there.

-- One who spends a lot of time in their studio creating,
painting, making music, etc. In general the structure is very good for
artists and musicians, and likely the topic of love or some
relationship/s would play into their work.

-- Someone who serves a lot of people in a self-sacrificing way. It may
be found in the chart of a saint-doctor, or social worker. Note: We
have many stories of Donald Trump sacrificing for common people or
being very generous with them. In one case he jumped out of his
limousine to stop a man from beating another with a baseball bat --
at risk to himself. Similar stories are legion with him.

-- A person with a career related to the unconscious, or dreams, and
especially one who combines that with art in some way, or who uses that
knowledge to help others with their relationships.

-- If the Venus was long-afflicted, say by Saturn or Pluto, their
"career" may revolve around the fact that they become
entrapped, or caught somewhere. They may have damage to their
relationships (lost loves) due to some kind of imprisonment.

-- They may represent or teach meditation (a 12th house interest) and
have many friends, associates, fans, clients, or even lovers (for
crying out loud) related to this activity.

-- A person who is associated with, career wise, some person of unusual
beauty or artistic ability. It can also play out as a mysterious hidden
figure who is key to one's status and 10th house standing though others
may not know about them. One may also in some way become known as, "The one who lost so-and-so, lost his mate, lost a friend" i.e. "There's John. John lost his beautiful wife and all his children."
This scenario would play out during times when long afflictions came to
the Venus-12. But these are also aspects of the 10th
House/exterior status and how this structure would play out eventually
in the location where one has it.

In all of the above examples you can see how the elements of Venus, plus 12th House, are gelling in a career context.
Also to be added later I will be discussing one of my favorite people, the architectural writer
James Kunstler,
who has the same structure as Trump, and showing how Kunstler's
life
work demonstrates the same things. Though his label
is architectural critic it's easy to see that his core impulse has
been to articulate standards and principles that create beauty -- and
even rarefied atmospherics -- in the public realm (which he sometimes
refers to as the "urban fabric.")
Kunstler is a caustic and intellectual but what he's always been
caustic about is the uglification of the American architecture and city
design. His entire
career almost consists of him crying for beauty in the public space.
Later he took to going to lonely
places and wilds and ended up developing as an exceptional painter of
these lonely places and wilds -- 12th House places for sure.

It's
only by seeing this same structure, with Kunstler, that you can
understand his true motivations. It's amazing how both men, though different in many respects and though having different aesthetics, are
lovers of beautiful architecture and both pursuers of beauty ideals and rarefied environments.
